After the meetings held on Tuesday by Mozilla developers, they announced
that Firefox 2 Beta 2 would be released on 31st of August. This was
reported in the weekly status report. The users of Alpha and Beta 1 Firefox 2 would be prompted autmatically for downloading Beta 2.

On
the other hand, Microsoft released Internet Explorer 7 Release
Candidate 1 last week. Both these browsers would be released at the same
time in October.

Mozilla is leaving no stones unturned while they plan out the release. A software team from Toronto, Radiant Core
would be redesigning the interface and making Firefox more
user-friendly. The company has been working for Mozilla for about a
year. They had to overcome the other two companies which were in fray to
design the modern, contemporary theme for Firefox 2. The others were
Meta and Raiz Labs.

IT Business reports that Firefox
2.0 will focus on four priority areas, according to Mozilla. These
include search bar, icon polish, tab strip and buttons in textboxes. To
date, Mozilla has already released a beta version of Firefox 2.0, which
does not include Radiant Core’s theme changes, and is scheduled to
release another beta in early September. That version will include some
of Radiant Core’s changes, according to Goldman.

There seems
to be some tension building between Mozilla and Microsoft. Both
companies are trying to woo the user with a good interface, stable
software and more important a browser that is secure. Come october, we
are definitely going to witness one browser taking the other down.
